Okiefromwatonga Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hello everyone, Just wanted to Introduce myself! I am a 13 year two tour vet that after driving Uncle Sam's big trucks (Oshkosh M978 Tanker and the various Mraps) have been considering purchasing a older truck to make into a hauler for my 1950 Pontiac for my family to enjoy. I have my eye on a couple of Mack B series in my area, but there is a Diamond T that's also got my interest Piqued. Hope to learn more about these Macks in the future. Oh, and my favorite movie growing up was Convoy, so I have a soft spot for Macks.

Diamonds are nice but the B's curves match your Poncho' s curves better.

At least I had body armor and a M4. The curves are exactly what drew me to the B Series and they are fairly common and reasonably priced for a runner. My dream is to find one with a Integrated sleeper and convert it into a Extended Cab but im beginning to find that they are rare.

My choice was a Savage 77E and an Ruger Blackhawk, when I saw Mattel on the M16 fore grip I knew it was bad juju. Go into the trucks for sale section, there was a few B sleepers in there for sale, most need a lot of tin worm repair.
